provide temporary assistance to eligible 

U.S. citizens and their dependents 

(repatriates) returned by the Department 

of State from a foreign country because 

of destitution, illness, war, threat of war, 

or a similar crisis, and who are without 

available resources, or (2) mental 

illness. Temporary assistance is 

provided upon their arrival in the U.S. 

and is available initially for up to 90 

days from a repatriate’s date of arrival 

in the U.S. Temporary assistance is 

provided in the form of a service loan 

and is repayable to the U.S.

medical care, temporary lodging, 

transportation, and other goods and 

services necessary for the health or 

welfare of individuals, including 

guidance, counseling, and other welfare

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND 

HUMAN SERVICES 

Administration for Children and 

Families 

Proposed Information Collection 

Activity: Social Services Block Grant 

Post-Expenditure Report, PreExpenditure Report, and Intended Use 

Plan (Office of Management and 

Budget# 0970–0234) 

AGENCY: Office of Community Services, 

Administration for Children and 

Families, U.S. Department of Health and 

Human Services. 

ACTION: Request for public comments. 

SUMMARY: The Administration for 

Children and Families’ (ACF) Office of 

Community Services (OCS) is requesting 

from the Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) a three-year extension of 

the Social Services Block Grant (SSBG) 

Post-Expenditure Report, PreExpenditure Report, and Intended Use 

Plan (OMB# 0970–0234). OCS is 

proposing to make minor editorial 

modifications to some column titles in 

the Pre- and Post-Expenditure Reports, 

for clarification. 

DATES: Comments are due within 60 

days of publication. In compliance with 

the requirements of the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995, ACF is soliciting 

public comment on the specific aspects 

of the information collection described 

above. 

ADDRESSES: You can obtain copies of the 

proposed collection of information and 

submit comments by emailing 

infocollection@acf.hhs.gov. Identify all 

requests by the title of the information 

collection. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Description: On an annual basis, States 

and Territories are required to submit 

the following reports: (1) An Intended 

Use Plan that provides data and 

narrative descriptions related to the 

State’s SSBG program. The Intended 

Use Plan includes details about the 

delivery of SSBG services and the State 

agency administering the SSBG 

Program. ACF is proposing to expand 

the currently approved information 

collection to include the collection of 

States’ Intended Use Plans with a model 

format. Recipients are required to 

submit their Pre-Expenditure Report no 

less than 30 days prior to the start of the 

period covered by the report. (2) A PreExpenditure Report demonstrates the 

State’s anticipated allocation of SSBG 

funding among the 29 pre-defined SSBG 

service categories. Historically, States 

have submitted this report using the 

Post-Expenditure Report Form, and the 

associated burden is included in the 

currently approved information 

collection. Recipients are required to 

submit their Intended Use Plan no less 

than 30 days prior to the start of the 

period covered by the report, together 

with the Pre-Expenditure Report. (3) A 

Post-Expenditure Report details the 

State’s actual use of SSBG funding 

among each of the 29 service categories. 

Recipients are required to submit their 

Post-Expenditure Report within 6 

months of the end of the period covered 

by the report. 

The law governing the programs at 

title XX of the Social Security Act [42 

U.S.C. 1397c] mandates States and 

Territories submit to the Federal 

administering office an Intended Use 

Plan and Pre-Expenditure report. These 

materials are to detail the planned use 

of funds. At the end of the fiscal year, 

the law also requires States to provide 

the Federal agency with a reconciliation 

of the actual use of grant funds in the 

Post-Expenditure Report [42 U.S.C. 

1397e].
